Club Holds Birthday
Luncheon Thursday—
The patriotic theme was the mo
tive carried out in table flowers
(carnations) and candies for the
annual birthday luncheon of the
Vernonia Study club which was
given Thursday, January 8. Mrs.
Judd Greenman was hostess and the
luncheon was prepared and served
by the refreshment committee, Mrs.
Faul Gordon, Mrs. Phil Taylor and
Mrs. Ross Duncan.
An explanation of the second
Red Cross drive was given by E.
H. iCIondit during the business meet
ing. The club suggested that some
other organization be approached
to conduct the canvassing of the
city for this subscription drive, but
pledged itself to assist whenever
needed.
At the close of the short meet
ing, two entertaining games con
cerning the new year were played.
Before each lady revealed the name
of her birthday friend, everyone
was given a turn to guess the name.
To draw new names, a cake with
white frosting and red and blue
candles lighted was passed to each
one who choose a candle under
which was a name.
Guests for the day were Mrs.
Harry Sandon, Mrs. Ray Mills and
Mrs. Ralph Valpiani, former mem
bers, who tendered their resigna
tions early in the fall.
Mrs. A. J. Hughes will be hostess
for the next meeting to be held
Thursday, January 22. At that time
the review of “China Shall Rise
Again” by Madame Chiang Kai Chek
will be given by Mrs. Hale Green
man. News from China will be the
response for roll call'.
Oh, Say, can you see
yourself ironing your
own shirts?
*
Of course not! It would
be a waste of time and
effort, and hot, messy
job at that. Your wife’s
time is valuable too,
and it isn’t fair to ex
pect her to drudge a-
way at a man-sized job
like ironing.
